Enjoyed the sandwiches - freshly charcoal grilled and inexpensive
(Translated) I ordered a $ 13 kaft trio on doordash to receive a tiny dish of potatoes. The trio is worth zero the price. $ 7 a sandwich and $ 13 a trio for a kid's portion, it fits in the palm of my hand. Incredibleeeee !!! No other sandwich restaurant does thataa .... sandwich received cold in addition ... Do not order a trio and do not get delivered. Its worth zero. Especially for the price in addition to delivery !!! (Original) Jai commande sur doordash une trio kaft a 13$ pour recevoir un miniscule plat de patates. Le trio ne vaut zero le prix. 7$ un sandwich et 13 $ un trio pour une portion denfant, sa rentre sur la paume de ma main. Incroyableeeee !!! Aucun aurre restaurant de sandwichs ne fait celaaa.... sandwich reçu froid en plus... Ne commander pas de trio et ne vous faites pas livrer. Sa vaut zero la peine. Surtout pour le prix en plus de livraison !!!
Love this place. I always take a filet mignon sandwich. It's great! The only 1 thing about this place I don't like it's the parking.
Ordered here several times on doordash. Good quality meat. Consistent and delicious. I recommend the Filet Mignon. Keep up the good work!
Delicious charcoal grilled sandwiches, the filet mignon is the tastiest, the kafta sandwich is good too! The meat is also fresh and delicious! It can get crowded sometimes but the service is good and the sandwiches always fresh and tasty!
tasty tasty tasty
Amazing!!!????
Impressive place. The staff are welcoming and they keep the place super clean. Wide variety of products and prices are average comparing to imported food supplies. Keep it up guys.
Simply put, THE BEST CHICKEN AND FILET MIGNON SANDWICHES IN MONTREAL!
Many culinary delights issued from this austere, stone-faced team of bbq masters. And the very finest hummus one can expect to buy in a shop in Montréal.
My place to buy the best meat in Montreal, amazing service ....love all the staff there
Best quality and great taste the staff are friendly and very clean place
Thank you Bilal for the amazing sandwiches and the best whole chicken in Montreal!!!!
(Translated) The restaurant is rubbish (Original) Le resto c'est du n'importe quoi
Discovered this place when I was going to college nearby, they have the best shish taouk sandwiches in town. The meat is grilled on charbon and the sandwich is crispy on the outside but not dry at all, it has explosive taste! Their kefta is also very good, I usually get 1 kefta and 1 shish taouk whenever I go!
The best meat in Montreal, the quality and care given to their products surpassed my expectations still today for more than 20 years. I cannot recommend Abu Elias enough, try it out! You'll remember my words!
Great sandwiches. Highly recommended. Parking is he'll since no room and many people
(Translated) The meat is of excellent quality and their products very fresh. However, communication with certain staff members is non-existent. After saying thank you and good day to the owner, he didn't even look at me and say a word ... (Original) La viande est d'une excellente qualité et leurs produits très frais. Par contre la communication avec certains membres du personnel est inexistante. Après avoir dit merci et bonne journée au propriétaire, il ne m'a même pas regardé et pas dit un mot...
Best shawarma spot in the country. They do their meat on real charcoal, and that adds to the authenticity, quality and taste of their food. If you haven't been you should go right now!
Abu Elias has good quality Halal meats and grill. Large variety of choices to choose from with Shish Taouk, Kafta, Grilled Chicken and many more. Butcher area is very clean and they have a good selection of frozen foods such as Lahmajeen (meat pizza) and Kibbeh. Pricing is a little higher than some other butcher/grills shops but worth it.
Best place in town for grilled sandwiches. The filet mignon sandwiches are sublime! Food always fresh. A must try!
Excellent Lebanese food and excellent friendly customer service.
Food is very good but I gave it 3 stars because the girl at the cash is rude
The best filet mignon in the island
Fresh and delicious.
I gave 5 stars last time I reviewed but, unfortunatly, last weekend I orderd 1.5kg lamb and it was very bad quality meat. It was more than 70% fat, and not grilled enough to at least brown the fat to make it taste good. Extremely poor quality and I hope management take care of the issue I use to love their grilled meats and beef tartare.
I don't know where to begin. The food is so good and fresh, the service is so friendly you just can't go wrong. My advice is try everything... The food is THAT good!
This place is GREAT! I went in for the first time on Thanksgiving weekend to buy some liver for my dog. I ended up leaving with Liver, potatoes, kebbe, and a few extras. The service and atmosphere was so great that I went back to the car to get my girlfriend so she could check it out. Thanks to kind sir working behind the counter who brought out the extra frozen veal bone!
(Translated) Really excellent, very nice staff. The good smells that reign there whet the appetite! (Original) Vraiment excellent, personnel très gentil. Les bonnes odeurs qui y règnent ouvre l'appétit !
Been eating my pita sandwich here for 10 years now. My favorites are the lamb and the filet mignon Kafta is also a authentic one. I have to go if i pass by ....
(Translated) Food much better than your local shish taouk restaurant. Organization, Ms. at the cash desk, oughhhh it's hard. It should really expand for parking at least. Or move (Original) Bouffe beaucoup mieux que ton resto shish taouk locale . Organisation , Mme a la caisse, oughhhh ça fait dur . Il devrait vraiment agrandir pour le stationnement aumoin. Ou déménager
The food tastes good though on the pricey side for what you get and you need to wait longer than at your typical shish taouk since the meat is grilled when ordered. Can't fault them for sacrificing speed in favor of freshness though. Unfortunately I had to lower the rating due to concerns on cleanliness at Abu Elias... We saw a lot of movement in the kitchen from people not wearing proper gear (i.e. hair net) and found a few hair in our food.
(Translated) The cashier makes you hungry before you even order, no sense of customer service. Frankly, I have the impression that I am at service Canada. (Original) La caissière te coupe l'appétit avant même de passer la commande, aucun sens de service à la clientèle . Franchement j'ai l'impression que je suis chez service Canada .
Good sandwiches!
Good place for sandwiches and customized meat
Amazing experience. Ottawa is definitely Missing a butcher shop like this. The lamb the filet the kafta and the chicken were all cooked and seasoned to perfection. Service was top notch. Special Thanks to Abed and the crew for making it a very enjoyable experience. And we will definitely be back soon. Abu Elias is worth the drive from Ottawa that's for sure
So good! Their garlic sauce and hummus are fantastic. All of the meat in the mix grill was super flavorful and juicy. Would definitely go back! ????
This place does a GREAT shish taouk! They use pickles instead of turnips and the way they grill the chicken is just amazing!
(Translated) Very unwelcoming service. The food is good but I ask them to recruit people who are trained and who don't yell at customers. Politeness is very important in running a business (Original) Service très peu accueillant. La nourriture est bonne mais je leur demande de recruter des personnes formées et qui ne crient pas sur les clients. La politesse est très importante pour gérer un commerce
(Translated) The madam is not nice, very rough, it is 2019 it is not possible a restaurant o small place to move without toilet! The food I would not give 2 stars not much. (Original) La madame a la caisse pas gentil, tres rude, on est 2019 ce pas possible un resto o petit place pour mánger sans toilette!! La bouffe je donerais 2 etoiles pas grand chose.
Great food, great prices
Their shish taouks are the best in town!
Food is amazing, definitely in my top 5 for this category! Service on the other hand is quite deceiving..
Go and eat delicious fresh Lebanese food cooked over charcoal, and then take home fresh food for dinner! Love this place
(Translated) Halal butcher, with delicious sandwiches grilled on embers, but the service needs improvement, the girls at the reception do not even wear the masks !!! (Original) Boucherie halal, avec des sandwiches délicieux grillades sur braise, mais le service à améliorer, les filles sur l’accueil ne portent même pas les masques!!!
Pretty good. The beef sandwich is made fresh including the grilling of the meat.
(Translated) The worst restaurant in Montreal! Very expensive, bad quality. (Original) Le pire restaurant à Montréal ! Tres chère, mauvaise qualité.
(Translated) Good place, good meat but limited varieties. No turkey. (Original) Bonne place, bonne viande mais variétés limitées. Pas de dinde.
Best place to buy meat
Hit or miss with the sandwiches. And they are small.
Great tasty food. Staff service is horrible though, slow to pick up orders and often messes it up.
(Translated) Excellent service, and very friendly and fast staff, ... their menu is delicious ... ???? (Original) Excellent service, et personnel très sympathique et rapide,...leur menu est délicieux...????
(Translated) Excellent sandwiches! Grilled meat with charcoal! (Original) Excellent sandwichs! Viande grillée au charbon!
Mouth watering charcoal grilled meat in a pita.
Got most of our good from here for the holidays. What delicious food. The hummus was delightful. My family said they loved the meat as well. As a vegan i really enjoyed the tabouleh and potato salad, it was just like home made. For years we go here and we are never disappointed.
Excellent meat and grilled food
The quality is good and the price is resonable. It is perfect in terms of taste.
Not to quote some TV personality, but you gotta eat here. Everything is cooked on charcoal fresh to order, try the kafta it's amazing.
Amazing food.
I ordered a meal for travel two days before. He confirmed with me and then at the same day of my travel trip he called that he was not able to get the leg lamb. It was OK with me. I was travelling at the same day. I called several shops and I was able to get a leg lamb but not grilled. I called him to ask if he would grill it He refused and he was very disrespectful!! Although I asked him to take additional fees. It was his fault!!!! And he never wanted to help( paid help). He gave me a choice instead of taking a lamb I should take meat from his store only!!!!! Not professional at all. Taking into consideration that he is very expensive compared to others!!! I highly don't recommend such a place!! Very Rude
(Translated) Freshness, quality and good service .. I go back often. (Original) Fraîcheur, qualité et bon service.. j'y retourne souvent.
SIMPLY THE BEST SANDWICHS! BEST FRESH MEAT! TAKE OUT! AND THEY ALSO HAVE SERVICE TRAITEUR FOR UR SPECIAl OCCASION !!:))) THE HUMMUS HAVE A EXCLUSIVE RECEPE TO ALSO BE THE BEST!!! LOVE IT !!
All time favourite grilled mix platers No other restaurant can beat them soo yummmyy???????? The spicy pita is extremely tasty and unique♥️
(Translated) Worst restaurant in the world I bought 1 kilo of grilled chick taouk, and to my surprise when I opened the dish at home there were 4 small chicken skewers and the rest 3 large onion and 3 large tomato barely grilled so g bought onion and tomato at $ 35. It's thieves (Original) Pire resto du monde j'ai acheté 1 kilo de chich taouk grillé , et a ma grande surprise quand j'ai ouvert le plat a la maison il y avait 4 petite brochettes de poulet et le reste 3 gros onion et 3 grosse tomate a peine grillè donc g acheté onion et tomate a 35 $ . C'est des Voleur
(Translated) Excellent meat (Original) Excellentes viandes
Great food, staff, hygiene. Parking is tricky but manageable. Prices are justified. Nice variety. Make sure to try everything. Different foods on different days of the week.
Best Halal Lebanese sandwiches in the town.
Good sandwiches! 4 stars because waiting time can be painful sometimes (20 minutes for a sandwich)
The chicken sandwich and filet sandwich were fantastic. Very authentic flavour and prep. I also ordered a side of potatoes with garlic sauce and hummus, all of which were delicious! I will be coming here whenever I'm in MTL
Delicious food. Lots of choices. Friendly staff. You can order in advance and pick it up
Tasty food and quick service,
Amazing
Their sandwich/wraps are amazing! Especially since they use a charcoal grill. Meats are fresh, service is quick and food is delicious. We always order in advance to pick up, especially in large groups but it's totally worth it.
More as a butcher than a restaurant for us. Pretty good
(Translated) The most bad service, I made an order, the girl on the phone confirms me a price and once I receive the delivery it is $ 15? In addition, she even loaded the plastic bag. BRAVO FOR YOUR LIE. BAD SERVICE BAD ORDER (Original) Le plus bad service, j'ai fais une commande, la fille au téléphone me confirme un prix et une fois que je recois la livraison c'est 15$ ? En plus, elle a même chargé les sac en plastique. BRAVO POUR VOTRE MENSONGE. BAD SERVICE BAD ORDER
I called and made an order for pick up, when I arrived to get it they told me they never had any order. They told me to wait another 20 minutes so they could make a sandwich. Service was really bad and nobody is wearing a mask.
Excellent grilled chicken and filet mignon wraps garlic potatoes are also good, seating is limited, pick up counter is crowded, parking is also limited, you can buy the garlic sauce in the fridge if you'd like some at home the price is higher than the average quality and freshness make up for it.
(Translated) Very fresh and succulent food with a very warm and welcoming staff! I highly recommend Abu Lias for all your orders of cooked, raw, or even ready-to-barbecue meats (and chickens)! (Original) Nourriture très fraîche et succulante avec un personnel très chaleureux et accueillant ! Je recommande fortement Abu Lias pour toutes vos commandes de viandes (et poulets) cuits, crus ou même prêts à mettre au barbecue !
Hands down one of the best Lebanese food I have had in Canada. Kafta is amazing, Shisha tawook is amazing. They even offered us Lental soup to try and they gave us spinach with chicken and rice to take on the way back to Toronto... It was amazing. They do pastries as well. Waiting for them to open up in mississauga / Toronto.
Best filet mignon sandwich. Cooked on charcoal....
Nice location with free parking. Quick and professional service but the best part is tasty and yummy so be ready to eat and eat until you are really full. Grilled chicken is so good with my favourite garlic sauce, Suguk sandwich is so yummy, the same goes on Kafka sandwich, Filet Mignon and Shish Taouk sandwich. Don't forget to try the best fresh Kebbe Nayye in Montreal, plus the grilled Kebbeh and Manaqish with bottle of Laban beside it to help your stomach deal with the overload situation ????????
delicious meat cooked right in front of you
Best clean meat in Montreal (hallal) Don't miss "teblit abou Elias"
(Translated) Best sandwiches in Montreal. Not the cheapest but worth it. Everything is authentic, even the starters and drinks. The meat is to eat your fingers, perfect for a BBQ if you want to impress the guests. (Original) Meilleurs sandwichs à Montréal. Pas les moins chers mais ça vaut le coup. Tout est authentique, même les entrées et les boissons. Les viandes sont à s'en manger les doigts, parfaites pour un BBQ si on veux impressionner les invités.
(Translated) Meat clean and of good quality. The quantities in the plates on the spot are quite small. (Original) Viande propre et de bonne qualité. Les quantités dans les assiettes sur place sont assez faibles.
(Translated) Disappointed with the quality, this is the second time I order and the meats are not fresh. The price is also expensive for a kilo of meat it is not worth it. (Original) Déçu par la qualité, c'est la deuxième fois je commande et les viandes ne sont pas fraîches. Le prix est chère aussi pour un Kilo de viande ça n'en vaut pas la peine.
(Translated) Excellent meat! It can be long waiting for grilled food and prices a little expensive (Original) Excellente viande ! Ca peut être long l'attente pour les grillades emportés et les prix un peu cher
(Translated) I love his lamb sandwiches, the best Lebanese fast food restaurant. (Original) J'adore ses sandwichs a l'agneau, le meilleur Resto rapide libanais.
The raw meat sandwiches are amazing
The best place to buy from
Uncooked Unorganized Unprofessional
Good place, sells tasty food , they have amazing meats and many other, their head of sheep is just amazing, definitely recommend this place.
Good food
Good place for sandwiches and meat. Small parking though
Best chicken pita I ever had in all my life
The food is okay. Rather a low ratio of quality/price. Plus a bad service. They force you to pay cash or debit while the cc works. The cashier is antipathetic. You have to wait outside the store for your order but the number you got is meaningless, people coming after you might be served before you. You may park your car in the parking and got stuck for half an hour because someone is blocking you behind, and this is happening all the time. If you can go elsewhere do it. These people as many other business are forgetting that customers are paying their salaries.
Went here based on a lot of hype I read. Seems like a butcher shop to me. Some good selection of halal meats. I don't know. Was expecting more., guess. Parking on the side of the building. Not wheelchair accessible.
(Translated) The rice is to be thrown in the trash The reception is average Waiting time is high An error occurred in the order, I'm supposed to have the fries with the rice 50/50%, but I got rice that tastes bad The prices are super high for the service offered. I don't recommend it, as there are so many better ones not far away in the Montreal area. (Original) Le riz est à jeter dans la poubelle L'accueil est moyen Le délai d'attente est élevé Une erreur est produite dans la commande, je suis supposé avoir les frites avec les riz 50/50%, mais j'ai eu du riz qui goûte mauvais Les prix sont super élevés pour le service offert. Je ne le recommande pas, car il en y a tant d'autres meilleur pas loin dans la région de Montréal.
(Translated) The place is very clean, the service is excellent and the quality of the meat is of high quality. As for the kebabs, I have a small remark. It may stem from a personal taste with the kebab sandwich. I would not like to put tahini if it replaced parsley and onions or grilled onions and tomatoes with muhammara, and thank you very much for the kind treatment. (Original) المكان نظيف جداً، الخدمة ممتازة ونوعية اللحوم ذات جودة عالية ، بالنسبة للكباب لي ملاحظة صغيرة وقد تكون نابعة من ذوق شخصي مع صندويشة الكباب لاأحبذ وضع الطحينة لو مكانها بقدونس وبصل أو بصل مشوي وطماطم مع محمرة، ولكم جزيل الشكر على المعاملة اللطيفة .
Came here last Monday and got two sandwiches with my girlfriend. The shish taouk was excellently grilled, and the charcoal imparted a great flavour on the chicken, as well as the bread that was grilled after the sandwich had been made. We also got a kafta neyeh sandwich and it was my personal favourite, as the quality of the meat was apparent and the garlic sauce, raw onions and pickles paired very well with it. I'm Lebanese and a huge fan of Lebanese food and this shish taouk sandwich is up there with the very best I've eaten. The pictures I took don't really do them justice.
Really over-priced for what you get at the takeout- one chicken kebab one filet mignon kebab loose meat.. not a sandwich...in a plate with potatoes $20. and change. Amir, Andolos, Boustan and others less expensive with more food and much much more flavour...
waited 18 minutes for a take out order and paid $11.99 for one chicken brochette with rice and potatoes. food was good but thats pricey and too long a wait.
Has some really good meat selection! Gotta try out thier sandwiches too!! So good
Ordered a charcoal chicken and it was very dry.
Call in advance the best way to go . food was hot ready
(Translated) Good memory of a good chicken pita, sadly on 16/10/2015, ordered a pita with lamb all dressed with garlic sauce ... received a pita whose meat was badly cooked and very tough with hummus, onions and a 1/4 pickle ... Not the same good memory I had of a good pita. I recommend the Farhat next door for a grilled sandwich on charcoal. (Original) Bon souvenir d'un bon pita au poulet, sadly le 16/10/2015, commandé un pita à l'agneau all dressed avec sauce à l'ail... reçu un pita dont la viande était mal cuite et très coriace avec de l'hummus, des oignon et un 1/4 de pickle... Pas le même bon souvenir que j'avais d'un bon pita. J'vous conseille le Farhat juste à côté pour un sandwich grillé sur charbon.

(Translated) Did you know that Andrew Zimmern plays in Bizarre Appétit and tastes the meal from this butcher's shop? (Original) Saviez-vous qu'Andrew Zimmern joue dans Bizarre Appétit et goûte au repas de cette boucherie?
Sandwiches are really good. And the garlic potatoes delicious.
A classic in great-tasting lebanese-style sandwiches at an affordable price. You can't choose wrong amongst their selection.
(Translated) The Filet Mignon Sandwich is always so good! I recommend ! (Original) Le Sandwich au filet mignon est toujours aussi bon ! Je recommande !
Nethereless one of the best sandwiches in town, but my last visit over the weekend completely through me off.. As I was waiting for my sandwich I witnessed one of the kitchen employee preping the meats on the grill, drop a rack of meat on the floor, rather than throwing away what fell on the floor, he picked it up and placed it in a sandwich like it was nothing, for it to be served to a customer. I was in complet shock and disdigusted. After being a customer for many years, I will not be returning, for this is unacceptable.
(Translated) Best grilled food in town (Original) Meilleures grillades en ville
Anyone who is interested in middle eastern food should give it a try. They sell the best pita sandwiches ever, in general everything they sell is excellent. Only drawback are sometimes the waiting times which impact the customer service.
Excellent food accompanied by an outstanding service. The meat is top quality and their charcoal grilled sandwiches are to die for. Can't leave without trying the hummus and falafel. Tahiat min Puerto Rico
Higher prices than you imagine...
Good place for meat lovers. Perfect for takeout.
It is now more of a miss than a hit, a couple of times they sold me marinated chicken that smelled bad I had to throw it, and the last time I ordered a barbecued chicken, it seems that they sold me a day old re-heated one. That's it for me.
The worst service with the highest price ! And taste is not special ! Nothing special but the highest price !
Clean and yummy. Recommend it :)
Perfect... lebanese taste..
Great food! Especially the kafta!
(Translated) Succulent (Original) Succulent
Experience was less than pleasant. I was understanding about the 18mins wait for my 3 shish taouk sandwiches but the parking lot was a nightmare, lots of honking, and rude comments from people trying to get out of parking lot. They forgot to give me my order of potatoes and when I reminded them, I was placed the piping hot aluminum container in my hand. I asked for a bag not to burn my hand on the way to the car and was met with attitude, no smile, apology or thanks. If you are not Arabic or Lebanese don't expect them to be polite.
eat like home, i go twice a week
Great kafta sandwiches!
Good place for a grilled sandwich. Ordering is done deli style. They really do use charcoal.
Just an awesome place for a taouk sandwich! I especially like the filet mignon and kafta pita sandwiches. Fresh and tasty!
(Translated) Cashier service not at the top. The order arrives quickly but I did not expect to see such a cheap quantity it's like the same turn off (Original) Service aux caisse pas au top.. La commande arrive vite mais je ne m'attendais pas à voir une quantité aussi radinne???? c'est comme même turn off
This place is as good as it gets for Lebanese pitas; everything is cooked over a charcoal stove. I have been going here on and off for the past decade, I have never stopped loving it. Always so good. Worth the drive from Montreal to St-laurent.
Best Lamb and Chicken wrap in Town.
Amazing food and amazing service!!
(Translated) good meat (Original) Bonne viande
Not the best customer experience, but hummus is amazing (best I've had, and I've had a lot). The kafta and filet mignon sandwiches are so good, but a little bit small, better take two.
(Translated) Excellent (Original) Excelente
Best bbq
Nice place, amazing shish taouk
My friend recommended me this place many years ago, since then I always come by to eat a great kefta pita with some baklavas. Nice place to go in the summer! They prepare it in front of you, the meat is fresh and well spiced!
Way over priced for such a cheap quality
(Translated) Very good service and good food (Original) Tres bon service et bon mets
Awesome food and quality is always on point ,Kebbe Nayeh is delicious????????
1 kilo of bbq kaftah was around 750 grams on the kitchen scale. Chicken as well. Over priced for the quantity and it is never a kilo by any means. Quality itself is very good, but does not justify small portions. I had those as take away, I enjoyed the taste while I was pissed of from how small the 2 kilos I bought looked like.
Good sandwiches
(Translated) Poor sandwich and arrogant service. Rubbery dry potato meat (no napkins or sauce) nn thank you! (Original) Sandwich médiocre et le service arrogant. Viande caoutchouteuse patate sec (pas de serviettes ou sauce) nn merci !
(Translated) I enjoyed the grilled meats with fresh meat ???? (Original) Je me suis régalé avec les grillades avec de la viande fraîche ????
Parking is a bit of a challenge, but kafta kebab looks awesome. In the barbeque now and smells amazing.
BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH EVER!!! My child hood food
Delicious and fresh grilled sandwiches and mini grocery store last minute pick up for your home. Always pleasant experience time and time again. Affordable and fresh. Will always recommend. Many Thanks
(Translated) Bad experience and last with this store, when we cheat on the price of an order that has been confirmed twice over the phone and we realize that $ 10 was put in more ...... Bad service to discourage. Be professional in communicating prices to your customers. (Original) Mauvaise expérience et dernière avec ce magasin, quant on triche sur le prix d'une commande qui a été confirmé deux fois au téléphone et on se rend compte que 10$ à été mise en plus......Bad service à déconseiller.

(Translated) Good but quite expensive. (Original) Bon mais assez cher.
Montreal’s hidden gem. The food is always delicious and the ingredients are all top quality. Price is also very fair.
They have the best Lebanese sandwich in Montreal. I don't buy meat here, but visit often for a sandwich and an ayran.
Super delicious sandwiches, I would rate it as the best! The tawook, and the beef ????
It has been years that I have been enjoying the most delicious Lebanese food in Montreal. The quality of everything surpasses that of any other competitor. Simple and authentic greatness!
grilled meals with low prices and fresh meat
Clean place, great quality meats, good service. Just know what you want to buy cause its pretty busy. The grillades are excellent. Fresh food everyday, all day.
Excellent
I bought 1 1/2 kg mixed, Really bad I didn't enjoy the food, my stomach hurts right after, it was my first and last time, Never again
Probably eat here once a month. Their kafta and chicken sandwiches are the best I've ever had! ALWAYS fresh, tasty and most importantly CONSISTENT! Don't be misled by the appearance of the place... it's a hidden gem in Montreal. It's even popular amongst family and friends in Ottawa. They always stop by when they're in town! Your welcome :)
Clean and fast service
Those sandwiches are something else.... soooo good!!!! Especially the shrimp one, simply: WOW!
(Translated) There is no better butcher shop in Montreal! The taste is authentic! Best place ever! (Original) Il n'existe pas une meilleur boucherie à Montréal! Le goût est authentique! Best place ever!
What happened to the sandwiches ? Since 2020 I went back today , and the sandwich was just onion and garlic sauce . The chicken and lamb in the centre and just the empty bread on bother sides... I saw while he had my sandwich on the grill a couple of meat pieces drop out and they did not have the courtesy to refill it and gave me an almost empty sandwich. I suppose it is off my list , sadly I won't be going back . It's not like their price are better than others , but I rather Boustan for a.decent sandwich. Edit : your reply sounds like it's the first time I visited you place . I have been coming for more than 5 years . Besides why would you call other options as cheaper . Another thing : I did request for all dressed at the counter . Being busy does not mean to short the customer. When meat dropped your guy just rolled the charcoal and looked at me and I assumed he would do the right thing . Sure, other places do serve proper quality but it does not mean that you call them cheap ....I wish I had taken a picture of the sandwiches and be the way I had one of each the chicken and lamb . You never charge the customer less because you are busy and maybe quality get compromised then why would you give less to the customer for paying the full price
Very cheap staff and servicebut very expensive . Just bought 60 $ kafta and I asked for garlic sauce but they refuse. They charge for each drink 2.50$ and when I ask for garlic sauce they wanted to change me 1.50$ ..... It's not about money it's about respect and the quality of service.
Great lamb , and kofta sandwich! Overall very good grill items. They got other stuff too. Never tried.
Best hummus in town, super friendly staff. Good quality meat, clean and always fresh!
Overpriced, Very long wait for raw uncooked sandwiches
By far the best meat in Montreal
Service was horrrible, waited 20 minutes for shish taouk that was just so-so.( Five employees standing around doing nothing and one guy working)Paid $10 for a container of hoummus which was bland(Akhavan's is SO SO much better and 1/2 the price) and another $10 for stuffed vine leaves that are still in the fridge, uneaten after 4 days because they are so bad. On a positive note the tabbouleh was quite good. Avoid this place-so many other places with good food/service.
probably the best shish taouk in Montreal
Best traditional Lebanese speciality in all of Montreal and they treat everyone like Gold!!!!!!!!
Clean place , the quality of meats is the best in whole Montreal.The service is so good.price is reasonable.Highly recommended.
5/5 - Hands down a must visit! Filet mignon pita rolls is a must. Prices are very reasonable. Cooked on charcoal for that smoky taste. Great butcher shop as well for all your needs. Parking is a bit tricky.
(Translated) It's good but it's $$$ (Original) C'est bon mais c'est $$$
Delicious sandwiches that are always fresh! The service is great and always fast if u call before to place your order. Been going here for over 15 years and will always be going back!
(Translated) Best sandwich, I recommend (Original) Meilleur sandwich , je vous conseille
I did delivery yesterday it was quick the kafta and the filet and the chicken was very delicious but there was missing the parsleywith the onion and soumakh. Thank you abou elias
So so depends when you go
(Translated) If there is 0 star I would have given that. This is the worst experience low service they charged us a 15 more than what we were told I cost a kilo of grill almost no meat and a lot of onions to fill the box poor service and the lady at the counter no fine silly air I advise against this place finished finished exorbitant price to have a stick of meat that she is cheating and not honest it's shameful. (Original) Si il existe 0 étoile j’aurais donné ça. C’est la pire expérience service bas il nous ont chargé un 15 de plus de ce que nous ont dit j’ai prix un kilo de grillade presque pas de viande et beaucoup d’ognons pour remplir la boîte service médiocre et la madame au comptoir pas fine air bête je vous déconseille cette place fini fini prix exorbitant pour avoir un bâtonnet de viande qu’elle tricherie et pas honnête c’est honteux.
As usual, awesome sandwiches on the grill
If you're NOT arabic or Libanese the old lady at the cash ignores you and serves everyone that comes in after you !
(Translated) The quality has decreased a lot lately, the price exaggerated, they even load the plastic bag as if I have to bring my trios of 3 people in my arms. come on. (Original) La qualité a beaucoup diminué ces derniers temps, le prix exagéré, ils chargent meme le sac en plastique comme si je dois ramener mes trios de 3 personnes dans mes bras. come on.
One of the best restaurants ????
We had a great dinner there. The bbq meat platter and the potatoes were great.
Do not order Grillades from here , we ordered 1/2 kg when we came home open up the package half of the parts were missing . So disspointing would never recommend it to anyone .
Quality of the food never changes/ always fresh . Love this place ????
Filet minion is very goood. I didnt really like shish tawouk sandwich
AMAZING FOOD BEST QUALITY!!!!!!
One of the best Kebab places in QC. Has been a regular for many decades and the quality remains the same. It gets very busy at times that you may not expect the best customer service but the owner is almost always there on top making sure everything is running fine. One of Montreal top heritage food.
Good quality of meat and a 5 stars service. You will enjoy you sandwich or your platter , guarantee!!
(Translated) The food is really delicious, BUT if you are not Arab the customer service is really not the best. (Original) La nourriture est vraiment delicieusse, MAIS Si tu n'est pas Arabe le service à la clientèle n'est vraiment pas le meilleur.
Love this place, the employees are so nice and respectful. Totally recommend this place. Specially when you have events, Great price and delicious food !
I used to visit it almost weekly until one day, i went to pay as usual with my bank card, and the machine powered off after i entered my PIN. We couldn't tell if the transaction went through or no... so we agreed that I pay again, and check my bank statement later to see if i paid twice to get reimbursed. I checked the statement and found out that i paid twice. So i printed the 2 lines of the 2 transactions and went back to the store few days later. The guy in charge didn't want to believe me as this is not an official statement. So i went to the nearest bank and got him a printout of my transactions as a proof and went back to him. He was surprised and told me 'you went there now!', i replied, you didn't believe it. Then he started ignoring me to the point that you feel you are begging him. I told him clearly that i live 30 min from his place, coming to his place would cost me 10$, and the amount owing was 20$... at the end, the son of the owner heard us and asked what i want... i told him what happened. He asked the cashier to give me the money so i don't make any more noise, disturbing the customers and leave.
(Translated) I ordered a charcoal grilled chicken this afternoon, the girl at the cash desk asked me to wait 30 minutes for a good quality of grilled meat. I left and returned after 30 minutes, my order was already ready and I left. My surprise at home is that the chicken drips bad, some greasy parts smell disgusting. It seems to be an old stock that borders on rot. My experience of grilling consumption tells me that this chicken may be grilled and frozen and then reheated to deliver it to the customer. Due to lack of time, I couldn't go back to the butcher shop. In short, I'm honestly afraid of poisoning for myself and my children, so I threw everything in the trash. I feel that takeout is a good opportunity to liquidate an old stock of meat rather than destroy it. I am forced to give 1 *. (Original) J'ai commandé cet après-midi un poulet grillé au charbon, la fille à la caisse m'a demandé d'attendre 30 mn pour une bonne qualité de grillade. Je suis parti et revenu après 30 mn, ma commande était déjà prête et je suis parti. Ma surprise à la maison c'est que le poulet goutte mauvais, certaines parties graisseuses sentent dégueulasse. Il a l'air d'être un vieux stock qui frôle la pourriture. Mon expérience de consommation de grillade me dit qu'il se peut que ce poulet est grillé et congelé puis réchauffé pour le livrer au client. Faute de temps, je n'ai pas pu retourné à la boucherie. Bref, j'ai honnêtement peur d'une intoxication pour moi et mes enfants, alors j'ai tout jeté dans la poubelle. J'ai l'impression que les commandes à emporter sont une bonne occasion pour liquider un vieux stock de viande au lieu de le détruire. Je suis contraint de donner 1*.
The place used to be the best in Montreal! Now the quality dropped to average... Kind of overrated
One of the best place to buy fresh meat specially the Un cooked meat such as Kafka nayeh or kebeh nayeh and swada nayeh the only place I can trust to eat that items fresh the quality is over excellent never buy anything from them and get disappointed always satisfied thanks You abo Elias thanks you Melhem
Rude very rude no respect… very expensive as others restaurants next door ask the price increase ask me to leave the store ….. I never will call or go pic my food thanks plz consider it
(Translated) Impeccable service, great food and very courteous staff. (Original) Un service impeccable,la nourriture est très bonne et les employés sont très courtois.
Great place to grab an authentic and tasty charcoal BBQ meat sandwich.
The best fresh and halal meat in montreal. Always try to serve me with high care. All staffs wear masks and respect the regulations.
(Translated) Simply excellent !!! (Original) Simplement excellent!!!
Best filet mignon sandwich in the city! Call to order and go pick up because there is never any parking and they grill it only when you order!
(Translated) Great (Original) Super
Got a mixed grill order for a family party and the food was very well cooked and delicious! Service was great and friendly and they were happy to accommodate the time we wanted to pick up the order. Salads too are delicious and great complimentary. Would definitely recommend!
Sells barbecued chicken and beef chunk meat by weight as half a kilo or a whole kilo. Delicious but the claimed weight is less than declared. It seems that they weigh the meat before they put it on the grill and loses a lot of its weight from dripping fat, water, and the like from the heat. With the net weight in mind, they're too pricy.
(Translated) I don't think I could ever eat shish taouk from anywhere other than a butcher's shop again. Industrialized restaurants have made it like McDonald's. Thanks to the butchers who still serve quality. It would be a good idea to make it slightly more affordable. (Original) Je crois que je ne pourrais plus jamais manger de shish taouk d'un autre endroit que d'une boucherie. Les restos industrialisé ont rendu ca comme du mcdonald. Merci aux boucheries qui servent encore de la qualité. Peu être rendre ça légèrement plus abordable serait une bonne idée.
i don't know how you can rate this place 1 star , the food is so authentic ! Meilleure boucherie a Montréal!
Perfect food
(Translated) The best meat in Montreal (Original) La meilleure viande de Montréal
Great food, very delicious.
(Translated) Best grills in town is worth the move quality excellent price (Original) Meilleur grillades en ville ça vaut le deplacement qualité prix excellent
I love this place , people whining about the price don't know how expensive the meat is today. They pay alot for their meat and you can see it in the quality of the food they serve.! Keep it up Abu Elias! we want a second one!
Good service and very reasonable prices for good quality products. Highly recommend!
delicious hummos and grilled meats but a bit overpriced and better for take out not to eat there! it's pretty much a butcher's place. I wouldnt take sandwiches it's pretty empty and expensive better grab the grills. I did not like the garlic potatoes soggy and not tasty at all!
(Translated) Very good butcher (Original) Très bonne boucherie
Love their raw liver and raw meat:Lebanese kebbeh.best place to purchase Halal meat in Montreal.
Chicken shish taouk sandwich with the garlic sauce definitely hits the spot. The chicken is grilled to perfection and the sandwiches are super saucy. Only con I have with this place is that once I ordered ground meat and from the inside, the meat was all brown (i.e. not fresh). Therefore, I will not go there to buy raw meat but for the sandwiches, definitely a great spot!
(Translated) Very good (Original) Très bon
Most delicious lebanese food ever !!!
OMG Amazing sandwiches !!!! We have been driving to Abu Elias from Ottawa for years !!!
Excellent charcoal grilled meat and sandwiches and a very good butcher.
(Translated) The products are fresh and made with quality ingredients. I highly recommend this place! (Original) Les produits sont frais et faits d'ingrédients de qualité. Je recommande fortement cet endroit!
Superb grills and sandwiches, I did not like the fried kebbeh, but other than that, the food is superb.
Get your Meat Fix here! Real Good Selection.
Very nice Halal grilled food. One of the rare places that you can find roasted grill chicken.
The young girl at the cash is extremely rude and arrogant . I Believe its the boss' daughter . Always has an attitude
Best meat in Montreal. A bit pricy But worth it... I've tried a lot of other places but nothing is compared or even close
Crazy for the prices, it's too expensive. And the taste of food is less than normal, Ohh my god to mach a one kilo of meat costs $ 50 for what it not gold!!!!!! It meat ???? I do not recommend it ????????????
Sandwiches are to die for, the meat is always fresh anddddddd they have the best hummus money can buy!
(Translated) I don't know why but the last 2 times it's really not good. The meat is dry. Too bad it was my favorite restaurant, but I don't think I'll be back. There I tell myself at the price it costs, the quality has become mediocre. (Original) Je ne sais pas pourquoi mais les 2 dernières fois ce n'est vraiment pas bon. La viande est sèche. Dommage s'était mon restaurant préféré, mais je ne crois pas que je vais revenir. Là je me dis au prix que ça coute, la qualité est devenue médiocre.
best , but little over priced
(Translated) great food, very good, good quantity, just too much waiting but quickly settled by the owner. (Original) super nourriture , tres bon , bonne quantité , juste de l’attente en trop mais vite régler par le proprio .
(Translated) Good grills, kafta and kibbe (Original) Bonnes grillades ,kafta et kibbe
Bit of a wait time and bit expensive but definitely worth it. ????
Friendly humans helping you find the best cuts of meat. This establishment has only meats from Quebec farmers! If you want to support a local business, that supports other local businesses, this is the choice to go! A kind gentlemen helped me to season a Kibbeh Nayeh portion, allowing to test taste to make sure we get it the way I like it! This place has great sandwiches, cooked foods and pastry to fulfill any event you are hosting or just a quick lunch.
(Translated) The girl at the cash register takes for a diva ........ tiny sandwich for the price Not even deserve a star (Original) La fille à la caisse ce prends pour une diva........ sandwich minuscule pour le prix Mérite même pas une étoile
(Translated) The best ❤ (Original) Le meilleur ❤
Great sandwiches and helpful staff. I made a mistake in my sausage order and they had already started cooking it but they were kind enough to change it anyway! Highly recommended for lebanese meat!
Delicious filet mignon charcoal grilled sandwiches.
Horrible food and sandwich raw meet Was visiting town wanted some nice Arabic food very disappointed from the quality of the beef and the lady at the cash was super rude
Fantastic quality and authentic food. You pay for the quality but it is certainly worth it. You wont regret it.
Best Quality and Best service!
(Translated) Filet mignon is very good! (Original) Filet mignon est très bon!
More people need to know about this place. All meats cooked over real charcoal. Some of Montréal best sandwiches.
My mother and I have been ordering from them for 10 years now. Call a minimum of 20 minutes advance to order to avoid waiting at the shop. I recommend their kofta and filet mignon sandwiches. They also have ready-made foods that change daily. All really good! This shop is part of the reason I love Arabic food :) Bring cash or debit because they don’t take credit cards!
Fresh and delicious halal BBQ sandwich and plates, but the price is increasing.
Quality of the meats is good, but quite expensive. 16/kg for boneless chicken. They also charge extra for cutting up the chicken and plastic bags as well.
Bad service! I was waiting for a long time for my turn to buy meat because the employee was busy serving two other clients (two women). Then, a client (A man) comes after me and it seems he knows an employee there. An employee came and served him within minutes without any respect for my presence!. The joke is that this employee just went after serving this person and left me waiting for the other employee to be available. The customer and the employee had no ethics and were not respectful as both saw me waiting and just ignored me. Please learn to respect people waiting in line!!
(Translated) Excellent Lebanese cuisine (Original) Excellente cuisine libanaise
it's meat, it's grilled, it's good.. what do you want..
Went for the filet mignon half kg platter...It was $26 on menu, they added $4 for service charge because i was eating inside. After tax paid $35 for five skewers of meat with some salad and humus on the side. Taste was non existent, devoid of spices and flavor. Not sure why all the hype..Go for regular $5 pita wrap and stay away from higher priced menu items.
(Translated) The best butcher in Montreal (Original) La meilleure boucherie à Montréal
Not what it used to be. Unfortunately the chicken seemed bad and both a friend and I were food poisoned.
Their sandwich are small and expensive. The taste is ok but doesn't justify the price. Before it wasn't like that. Later I tried others places which are really great and to compare, Abu Elias is twice the price, and when I said twice it's twice.
Rude, dismissive, delicious and the most dangerous parking lot in Ville Saint Laurent!!
Very fresh and delicious.
Delicious chicken shish-taouk! The place can get really busy really fast. You're better off parking on the street than you are in the parking lot which is extremely hectic to say the least.
The lady on the telephone must be changed because she will makes you lose customers While i was ordering she put me 3 times waiting and last time the call failed then when i call back to cancel the order she said مع السلامة and it is very rude word to said to customers , i know your products is perfect but i can’t be your customer any more if i could not be respected, take care while choosing your employees
(Translated) I love, very good, affordable prices (Original) J'adore, tres bon , prix abordables
This restaurant deserves 10 stars, I did not enjoy food in Canada like there, the food is very delicious, the prices is very cheap and the owner very generous, when he knew that we came from Ottawa he took great care of us, I advise all people to go there.
Went there 2 times in last week and the first time I ordered 2 taouk and 2 fillet mignon sandwich and it was cold. I thought may they asked me to wait out side I might have been little late to go get my sandwich but today I ordered the same thing and I was looking at the butcher how he was making it so I noticed that meats are already cooked and they make the sandwich and they put it on the grill for 3 mins I did not expect that I drove all the way from saint lazare to eat cold sandwiches
I loved the fillet mignon wrap, meat was cooked and seasoned perfectly.
I ordered 10 fillet mignon and had to throw them, garbage hard meat, they should sell them as chewing gum sandwiches rather !!! I do not recommend at all
(Translated) One of the best butchers in town. The service is excellent. The meat is tender and well prepared. The best hummus without hesitation. I hope they don't increase the prices from my review. Possibility of delivery. Keep this address in mind if necessary. (Original) Une des meilleures boucheries en ville. Le service est excellent. La viande est tendre est bien préparée. Le meilleur hummus sans hésitation. J’espère qu’ils n’augmenteront pas les prix à la lecture de mon avis. Possibilité de livraison. À garder cette adresse en tête au besoin.
Love their food! Best sandwiches and amazing hummus and tender fresh meat
(Translated) Quality Lebanese fast food, best lamb, best taouk, best kafta ..... The fresh meat is of superior quality ..... Cleanliness, courteous staff, welcoming, very competitive price ...... I recommand it...... (Original) Resto rapide libanais de qualité, meilleur viande d’agneau, meilleur taouk, meilleur kafta..... La viande fraiche est de qualité supérieure.....Propreté, personnel courtois, accueillant, prix très compétitif...... Je le recommande......
It's good if you have never tried shish toauk before
Best shawarma in Montreal.
Authentic cuisine, great food with mini eating area out back (bar like stools and tables). Parking on the side available but usually limited availability due to popularity of restaurant. Also has an instore Boucher's.
(Translated) clean, good but a little expensive (Original) propre, bon mais un peu cher
Very tasty sandwich
